Restocking of Nintendo Switch 2 confirmed at Best Buy; explore other retailers for availability now
The awaited Nintendo Switch 2 has finally hit the shelves at the My Nintendo Store (UK) for £395, and it's not just the console that's creating a buzz. The hybrid console, praised by Tom's Guide senior entertainment editor Rory Mellon as a "full leap forward" and the best hybrid console available, comes with a range of bundles and accessories to elevate your gaming experience.
For those in the UK, Very (UK) offers not one but two bundles. The standard Nintendo Switch 2 is available, priced at £429, and for an additional £86, you can opt for the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle. But that's not all; Very (UK) has also added a Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle, complete with a 256GB SanDisk MicroSD Card and a Pro Controller, for £553.
If you're a fan of the Mario Kart World, The Game Collection (UK) offers a bundle that includes a console, an official case and screen protector, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, and a 256GB MicroSD card for £534.
Best Buy, expected to restock the Nintendo Switch 2 in-store on July 1, will not have units available online for the July 1 restock, only in-store. This week, Best Buy has confirmed a Nintendo Switch 2 restock on July 1.
While the major U.S. retailers are yet to stock the Switch 2 consoles, the Switch 2 Pro Controller, highly demanded for its comfort and responsive buttons, is available at Walmart for $84. This accessory, featuring a headphone jack, a new "C" button, and customizable back buttons, makes for an excellent upgrade over the Joy-Con grip for extended gaming sessions.
To maximise your Switch 2 experience, experts recommend several accessories. Screen protectors by amFilm, Sandisk microSD Cards, protective cases like the Mumba Dockable Clear Case and Genki Sleeper Case, power banks such as the Anker 25K Laptop Power Bank, charging accessories like the Official Joy-Con Charging Grip, and additional gear such as the Bamboo Sofa Armrest Tray and dbrand Killswitch Case are all readily available through major retailers and official brand websites.
